What the heck is a "monkberry moon delight?" From Shelli Bennion, North Highlands, CA, USAWhen my kids were young they used to call milk, "monk", for whatever reason that kids do - I think it's magical the way that kids can develop better names for things than the real ones. In fact as a joke, Linda and I still occasionally refer to an object by that child-language name.So, monk was always milk, and monkberry moon delight was a fantasy drink, rather like 'Love Potion No 9', hence the line in the song, "sipping monkberry moon delight". It was a fantasy milkshake. Being an American, Linda has always been very good at making milk shakes and our family is quite into them.

This tune seems to be more a less a vocal exercise by Paul, to sort of test the limits of what he could do at that time. As a song, it's mostly a throwaway. Nonsense lyrics over a fairly generic rock beat. Still, it's a guilty pleasure because he never quite "lets it rip" like that anywhere else. I've found myself playing it for people who made comments about Paul's vocal abilities being "limited" or "he always sings the same way".

Thanks to the poster who sent Paul's explanation for the song's "meaning". I always wondered!
